I wish this was true. The Max-4K's have only 64 HDLC-channels. If you
try to connect more than 2 PRI's you might hit the maximum. If you
have enough analog users no harm is done because they'll eat the
PRI-channels.
If you only connect ISDN-users and more than 2 PRI's are connected you
might want to put in the 32HDLC-card to you would have 96
HDLC-channels.
The term-serv command 'sh if stat' only shows the maximum possible
connections through isdn (only if you add 4 32HDLC-cards to the box).
